Those damn arson loving koalas are at it again. People should not give them matches!
Are you sure thatās not a drop bear? They do look quite similar.
āDrop bearā is a slur on the Militant Marsupial Movement.
I was leaning towards the idea that there was a secret Burzum tour that I hadnāt heard ofā¦but you donāt fuck with those koalas
Iāve been thinking about this. Octopuses (fight me) in the wild live ~2-3 years because they spend all their time looking after their brood once they reach mating age and they donāt get any food. In controlled environments where they donāt have to guard their eggs and young they can live decades.
It makes me all very sad and quite happy Iām not a denizen of the deep.
I say this to you now, with as careful thought as I can muster given you are trying to antagonize me.
Take what you see as a good thing. Iām sitting here agreeing with you and everyone else that this is a horrible thing to want, and youāre here trying to lecture me on what iām supposed to feel and be as a matter of faith? You come off as militantly atheist and as if you wish to pick a fight.
Iāve ignored you til now because youāre not worth it, but at the same time I feel you deserved a response. Take what you want from what I say. Iām far from perfect and prone to anger, so maybe you feel iād be an easy target to goad into making it look like iād bully you, or you simply feel āoh hey christian, why are you here? your kind is not wanted.ā Why shouldnāt you? the mods response when I asked them about your comment was āsuck it up and ignore it.ā So maybe you felt like this was your home and youād be shielded. Maybe you are.
This is my place too and Iāve been here for a long time.
I live with people that agree with this pastor, and it grieves me they do so not just because they are family, but because more simply itās people glad that other people die. That is never the correct response or reaction. Believe what you will for what happens after, but death closes all doors on this earth we walk. Education is the answer to help newer generations not make the mistakes of their parents, but what of people so long in the tooth they wear their attitudes as a badge of honor?
I wish I had an answer, because I donāt like the sentiment I hear whenever gay rights or the suffering of those that are gay is on the news.
So Say We All.
I always thought it was āoctopeeseā.
If you got that out of my post, you need to read more closely or get the chip off your shoulder. You are reading something in there which does not exist.
My point, which you seemed to ignore in favor of some whiny martyrbating is to acknowledge its nice when Christians like yourself say how much you disagree with the bigoted sentiments of many members of your faith. However, such sentiments do not mean very much unless you are willing to direct them towards fellow Christians you disagree with.
NALT Christians (Not All Like That) are generally less than useless. They chose to direct their righteous anger outside at those critical of the faith rather than towards those besmirching its reputation in the first place. Its one thing to say not all Christians are hateful and whatnot to outsiders. Its another to actually address Christians who donāt share your sentiments. The ones who act as if they represent the entire faith (including those like yourself) on such matters.
My point was, if you were sincere in your beliefs (which I didnāt actually comment on in any derogatory fashion) then you owe it to yourself and your faith to call out those who misuse Christianity for malicious ends.
Octopodes. NEVER āoctopiā - Greek words do not take Latin plurals.
Nobody loves an octopedant.
I know quite a few self-professed Christians who are extremely judgemental people, who seem obsessed with making everything fit their world view. When they complain to me about anything from people to the weather that are āwrongā, I sometimes cheerfully dismiss it as āanother one of Godās great mistakesā. That usually shuts them up and gets them to think a bit.
What about ātelevisionā and āautomobileā?
Those are greek-latin hybrids. If it were a Greek word, it would be telerama.
ā¦That sounds incredibly fifties. However as I do not know greek, I will take your word on it.
Iām still going to be amused.
I meant to illustrate that, in addition to octopi, there are other very common words which are monstrous hybrids of Greek and Latin.
Indeed. When the Apollo program was going on, I heard NASA people taking about the āapoluneā and āperiluneā of an orbit. (Iām not sure what would be better there: apocynthion? aposeleneion?)
I feel like Iāve read your post before. Hmmm. Itās like a substitution cipher or something.
sed ās/christian/unamurkin mooslim/.ā
OK, pretty close. Not quite thoughā¦
sed ās/christian/Palestinian/.ā
Oh, there it is!
You mean to tell me people donāt constantly ask moderate Muslims to speak out against Islamicists?
Nor Palestinians to speak out against their gangster-like leadership?
Thank you for pointing out the premise works well for all three. It is the duty of moderates of a given group to speak out against their more loudmouth extremists lest people consider them all alike.
